SUMMER 2012 STUDENTS ARE LINING UP NOW FOR VISITS

Welcome to the 2012 session of LEC, the French student homestay program. This is the fifth year that LEC Capital Region has been matching students and host families in the Harrisburg region (and surrounding counties) for the fun and excitement of an international friendship.

Believe it or not, we have already received the first student profile for the summer 2012 visit! Here's what the two summer sessions will look like:

July 5-25: Immersion -- 11 students (staying with the family only; no meeting with other students; no planned excursions by LEC). The chaperon will probably stay with the other half of the group near Washington, which will have classroom studies while there. 

August 2-22: Immersion --  24 students and a chaperon.

As student profiles arrive, you will find links to them in this blog. You can consider which student will best fit in with your family. We have found that whether you like to do the same things or not, every experience is beneficial, and everyone learns new things.

I am pleased to say that some of our LEC host families have visited their students in France. Others have had return visits from the student. Many keep in touch by email or Facebook -- even Skype! Hosting a student is the first step in what may be a life-long international friendship.
